[10:04] <geek1nick> Hi
[10:05] <geek1nick> Hello
[10:06] <geek1nick> I need to put on my personal ppa a custom flavour of the ubuntu xenial kernel. I need to add a few patch and change the configuration. And I don't want that if a user install my ppa/kernel to get updates from the main kernel
[10:07] <geek1nick> I was thinking of creating for example the packages linux-meta-nick and linux-image-4.10.0-nick
[10:08] <geek1nick> i've seen in the xenial kernel git on the hwe branch that there's a folder called debian.hwe and debian.generic 
[10:09] <geek1nick> I need to rename it to debian.nick?
[10:09] <geek1nick> there's some documentation about how to do it?
[10:09] <geek1nick> some script to generate the initial folder?
[10:09] <geek1nick> and regarding the patch
[10:10] <geek1nick> is better to just apply to the kernel git or to have some "patch folder"?
[10:11] <geek1nick> another question
[10:12] <geek1nick> the build with debuild is very slow is possible to pass option to the build like for example -j16
[10:12] <geek1nick> and is possible to build a kernel package without doing a "clean"?
[10:13] <geek1nick> ps I've already tested the config/patches with a custom vanilla kernel build with "make deb-pkg" and they are ok
[10:26] <geek1nick> anyone?
[10:53] <apw> you should just be able to make your own meta, and switch people to linux-nick / linux-image-nick
[10:55] <geek1nick> ok
[10:55] <geek1nick> my problem is in the kernel directory
[10:55] <geek1nick> how I can create the "flavour directory?
[10:55] <geek1nick> there's a script to do it?
[10:55] <geek1nick> for example debian.nick
[10:55] <apw> well it isn't necesarry to change the flavour name if you are supplying a replacement meta
[10:56] <apw> you can just point linux-image-nick to linux-image-<version>-generic 
[10:56] <geek1nick> ok but the version will not clash with the one from the ubuntu repo?
[10:57] <geek1nick> I want something like linux-image-nick-4.10 as the package name
[10:57] <geek1nick> to avoid having problem in the updates
[10:58] <geek1nick> sorry but the debian system is still foreign to me
[10:58] <apw> well updates are completely driven by linux-meta, so you would likley be ok
[10:58] <apw> if they remove linux-generic when they instlal linux-nick, which you could ensure with Conflicts
[10:59] <apw> but otherwise debian.master and debian.nick would be mostly identicle other than your config changes, and changing debian.nick/changelog to say linux-nick in it
[10:59] <apw> and debian.nick/control
[10:59] <geek1nick> ok thanks
[11:00] <geek1nick> regarding the speed of the build? Is pretty slow 
[11:00] <geek1nick> is possible to pass -j option to the make from debuild
[11:00] <geek1nick> ?
[12:12] <apw> geek1nick, it should use -j<cpus> by default iirc
[14:47] <geek1nick> ok
[14:47] <geek1nick> thanks
[15:01] <lorddoskias> what's the difference between crda and wireless-crda packages?
[15:33] <JanC> wireless-crda just depends on crda
[15:35] <JanC> I'm not sure wireless-crda is still needed in the archive... (it looks like some leftover from a migration or something?)
[15:45] <lorddoskias> hm, from time to time iw as getting disconnects and region changes so i completely uninstalled crda and now i get: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25873603/
[15:45] <lorddoskias> any ideas what reason 4 is 
[15:45] <lorddoskias> i'm using 16.04 with an ath9271 chipset
